Daily Reflection – Praying the Prayer
Scott invites us to join in praying the prayer Paul prayed over the people of God.
Ephesians 3:14-21
I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen.
1 Peter 1:6

Daily Reflection – Vulnerability
Mark explores the idea of disarming instead of attacking, and allowing God’s love and light and healing to flow through us.
Read: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Remember: Being vulnerable is not always easy but Jesus calls us to lay down our weapons!
